Antivir ( http://www.antivir.de/ ) - a popular antivirus scanner
doesn't work on local file system in Freebsd 5.X


The result from FreeBSD 4.9 system:
root@something:~$antivir -s  /var/log/

Files are 0 and it seems that antivir doesn't recognize the files in the =
file system.I'v noticed this behaviour since the early 5.0 distribution. =


The strange thing about all this stuff is that antivir is working fine
on mounted file system, even it is FreeBSD 5.X on it, but still refuse =
to scan files mounted on /=20
That's the reason I post this message here.
What is the difference between / and mounted file system, even if they =
are from the same
installation media..
